Allow
ava-labs/corethto use arbitrarytriedbdatabase implementations.How this works
Introduces
HashBackendandPathBackendinterfaces thattriedb.Databasetype-asserts to instead ofhashdb.Databaseandpathdb.Backendrespectively. Other interfaces are introduced to avoid having to modify{hash,path}db.Database.Reader()return values.The explicit
DBOverridefield means that we don't have to modify any of thetriedbconstructor beyond adding a single line immediately before the return. This leaves all modifications of original files entirely mechanistic. This is, however, at the expense of compile-time guarantees of the overriding database being either aHashBackendor aPathBackend.How this was tested
Unit test demonstrating override + plumbing.
